Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.
In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder until evenly coated.
Spread the chicken pieces out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden-brown, turning halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the low sodium BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, and smoked paprika.
Stir the sauce ingredients constantly until the mixture bubbles gently and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed but avoid adding salt if aiming to keep it low sodium.
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the pieces to a large bowl.
Pour the warm BBQ sauce over the chicken pieces and toss until they are well coated.
Serve immediately with your choice of low sodium sides such as a greens salad or roasted vegetables.
